CONCEPTUAL APPROACHES TO DETERMINE THE ESSENCE AND STRUCTURE OF THE STRATEGIC POTENTIAL OF THE ORGANIZATION OF AGRO-INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX

Purpose of study: The aim of the study is to systematize theoretical approaches to the consideration of the nature and structure of the strategic potential of the organization of the agro-industrial complex, since its effective management has a huge impact on the achievement of the organization’s strategic goals of its development and the competitiveness of the organization as a whole. Methodology: The theoretical and methodological basis of the study are the works of foreign and domestic economic scientists, who present approaches to the study of the strategic potential of the organization of the agro-industrial complex. General scientific methods, such as analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction, detailing and generalization, comparison, formalization, analogy, historical, logical and systematic approaches, were used as research tools in the present work. Main Findings: The feasibility of applying an effective target approach to determine the essence of the organization’s strategic potential has been determined. The definition of the strategic potential of the organization of the agro-industrial complex is formulated and its characteristics are determined. The necessity of using the resource-functional approach to determine the structure of the organization’s strategic potential has been proved. Applications of this study: The main provisions of the scientific article are the basis for solving practical problems of improving the management of the strategic potential of the organization of the agricultural and industrial complex and can be used directly by the head in making strategic management decisions that provide economically justified development of the organization in the future. Novelty/Originality of this study: The scientific novelty of the study is to substantiate the theoretical provisions on the essence and structure of the strategic potential of the organization of the agro-industrial complex, aimed at solving the problems of improving strategic management in the agro-industrial complex to improve its efficiency and competitiveness

Management of efficiency of agricultural production on the basis of margin approach

The article presents the main directions of realization of the concept of the margin approach in forming the economic efficiency of agricultural production.the conceptual approaches generalized and systematized to the management of production costs of agricultural products, the proposed definition of "cost control" from the perspective of the situational approach. Theways of improvement of methods of formation and calculation of costs were formulated which based on the concept of fixed and variable costs, marginal income, that generate a target profit in the organization as a reference or threshold points of its development, as well as to calculate these non-traditional local practices performance – the long and short of the lower limit of the price of the product. A simplified method of determining the contribution margin presented for possible use in economic activities of agricultural groups. Possible implementation of the presented method are shown for the formation of costs and assessment of economic efficiency of agricultural production

ARIA 2016: Care pathways implementing emerging technologies for predictive medicine in rhinitis and asthma across the life cycle

The Allergic Rhinitis and its Impact on Asthma (ARIA) initiative commenced during a World Health Organization workshop in 1999. The initial goals were (1) to propose a new allergic rhinitis classification, (2) to promote the concept of multi-morbidity in asthma a

MACVIA-ARIA Sentinel NetworK for allergic rhinitis (MASK-rhinitis)

Several unmet needs have been identified in allergic rhinitis: identification of the time of onset of the pollen season, optimal control of rhinitis and comorbidities, patient stratification, multidisciplinary team for integrated care pathways, innovation in clinical trials and, above all, patient empowerment. MASK-rhinitis (MACVIA-ARIA Sentinel NetworK for allergic rhinitis) is a simple system centred around the patient which was devised to fill many of these gaps using Information and Communications Technology (ICT) tools and a clinical decision support system (CDSS) based on the most widely used guideline in allergic rhinitis and its asthma comorbidity (ARIA 2015 revision). It is one of the implementation systems of Action Plan B3 of the European Innovation Partnership on Active and Healthy Ageing (EIP on AHA). Three tools are used for the electronic monitoring of allergic diseases: a cell phone-based daily visual analogue scale (VAS) assessment of disease control, CARAT (Control of Allergic Rhinitis and Asthma Test) and e-Allergy screening (premedical system of early diagnosis of allergy and asthma based on online tools). These tools are combined with a clinical decision support system (CDSS) and are available in many languages. An e-CRF and an e-learning tool complete MASK. MASK is flexible and other tools can be added. It appears to be an advanced, global and integrated ICT answer for many unmet needs in allergic diseases which will improve policies and standards
